Here is the lowdown - sign up will close on March 1st and I will post swap partners, then let's have them in the mail by April 1st.

This is from the first page of this thread. I haven't seen anything different, but I could have missed it. I hope this helps those that are planning for the swap.
I've been gathering shopping bag ideas. I made one up using a feed sack. I've been wanting to try that for a long time. It turned out well. I did find I had to serge the seams and I did put a cotton fabric binding along the top edge. There's a couple more I want to try before I decide which to make for the swap.

Sorry ladies - been a busy week. The info Christine posted is still the same, I will post the list on Sunday March 1st and bags need to be done and mailed by April 1st - hopefully that is enough time for everyone to get them done but not so much that they get forgotten.
Thanks everyone who has signed up thus far - what a great list!!

This may be a silly question, but how do we know where to mail our bags to? Are we given our exchange gals email address so we can get their mailing address or what? This is my first time so I'm blank on how it's done.
Thanks,

I am curious about if a fat quarter would be a good size to make the bags. If so it's already cut out!

Gail, just click on the farmgirls ID name in her post and it goes to her info...then you click the statement that says "send email"
I think you will really enjoy the swaps! We also get to know each other this way.

Am I on the list? And if so I went down through all the posts and only found the original list.
Is there another list and am I missing it? Help |

Cheryl - I just posted (maybe an hour ago) it under my original first post - so it would be easy to get to but evidently that didn't work out so well. You should e-mail your partner to get their address/info

Tami, my bags arrived on Friday. I love the Easter one, and the one from the old shirt is also very cute. Looks like you are the second person to get yours done and in the mail! Thank you for a successful swap, partner!
Take care, Shelba |

I received by bag (and wonderful surprise gift!), thank you SO much! The bag is adorable and generously sized. I can't tell you how much I adore that appliqued birdy, so Farmgirl and so fun! I decided the bag I made you needed something to go with it, so it will go in the mail tomorrow! Thank you!
